Barcelona great Rivaldo has urged Gabriel Jesus to stick with Manchester City and Pep Guardiola this summer.
The 23-year-old joined City for £27m from Palmeiras in 2016 and has scored a combined 63 goals in 139 games for City.
However, he is still often forced to play second fiddle to the Blues' record scorer Sergio Aguero, although he is likely to see the season out as City's main striker with Aguero sidelined due to a knee problem.
Rivaldo believes City is the best club for Jesus' career development amid speculation linking him with a move to Inter Milan.
“Sergio Aguero may have ended his season after a bad injury so Gabriel Jesus could have a great chance here of establishing himself as a regular starter in this decisive phase of the season,” he told Betfair.
“For that reason, Jesus needs to focus and build confidence by regularly scoring goals and help his team achieve their objectives.
“There are also rumours that Internazionale would try to sign Jesus if they sell Lautaro Martinez to Barcelona, but if it was me I would prefer to stay at City.
“Additionally, Gabriel Jesus is already settled to English football, to the city of Manchester and is being coached by one of the best, so I believe he should continue at the club as it might be the best option for his career at the moment.”
